NOTE 5 — DEFERRED COSTS
 
Effective January 1, 2018, the Company capitalizes initial and renewal sales commission payments in the period a customer contract is obtained and payment is received; and is amortized consistent with the transfer of the goods or services to the customer over the expected period of benefit
, which we have deemed to be the contract term
.
 
Such commissions are amortized over the greater of contract term or technological obsolescence period when the underlying contracted products are technology-based, such as for the SaaS-based platforms, or the expected customer relationship period when the underlying contracted products are not technology-based, such as for patient experience survey products.
 
During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company deferred an aggregate $201,142 commissions paid and reclassified from equity $80,153 previously paid and expensed commissions. Amortization of deferred costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 was $34,214 and $59,705, respectively.
